Overview: Bloodlust barely holds the lead while their poster team TeamPandemic is falling quickly down the Top 10 ranks, from 2nd to 7th. Last week Bloodlust led by 73 Rating, this week it has been dwindled down to 26. Closely snipping at Bloodlust's heels is Rampage and Vengeance who were ranked 4th and 3rd last week. Rampage's burst up the ladder came from some unexpected play from TeamEG who was ranked outside the Top 50 in the US now shot up to 10th with 2300 rating, as well as great play from the Cho'Gall server. Vengeance who had just an impressive week is being fueled by We lose cuz Daorok sux, who has shot up 400 rating since the last rankings were released, their server Korgath also holds the majority of the top spots helping bring BG rating up. Trounce the #1 team in the US for the past two weeks has helped bring their Battleground Stormstrike up to 7th from 10th, moving it out of the bottom tier to a mid tier Battleground now. Last weeks #2 ranked Battleground Nightfall has dropped all the way down to 5th, and with rumors that their #1 team CAPSLOCKCREW will be transferring they will most likely keep going down. Almost every server had a good week gaining this week except for Ruin the only Battleground to drop rating.

Be sure to check back next week to see if Bloodlust can maintain its narrow lead, and if Vengeance and Ramage will duel it out for the #1 Ranked Battlegroup.
